Bertrand Michat, export director, on sustainability at Paul Jaboulet Aîné

By Tobias Webb

Sustainable Wine’s Tobias Webb recently recorded with Bertrand from Paul Jaboulet Aîné about the sustainability journey that the company has been on in recent years.

In the podcast we discussed:

  • Why Jaboulet has been heading towards organics, with some biodynamic practices, since 2007
  • Whether going organic is a useful defence against climate change
  • What the team at Jaboulet feel their consumers want to see from their brand on sustainability
  • The future of chemicals in the Rhone valley and elsewhere in France
  • How and why making contributions to ecosystem protection is important for wine brands like Jaboulet
